Supporters of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist chant slogans as they wait for Crist's
campaign bus to arrive at a campaign event, Monday, in Miami. Crist, a former Florida Republican
governor, is running against Republican Florida Gov Rick Scott.
From a one room courthouse in rural Georgia to the Venice Beach lifeguard headquarters in Los Angeles,
public campaigning gives way to the privacy of the voting booth. Control of the Senate, the makeup of the
House and three dozen governorships are at stake.
Voters in 41 states are also settling ballot questions ranging from gun laws to the minimum wage. Maine's
residents are settling the fate of a proposal to ban bear hunters from using bait, dogs or traps. AP PHOTO

A woman who gave false alibis to two
killers who murdered a Welsh couple on
their honeymoon in Antigua six years ago
has been jailed for perverting the course
of justice.
Catherine and Ben Mullany were shot
in July 2008. Mrs Mullany was killed at
the scene. Her husband died in Wales a
week later. Georgette Aaron was sen-
tenced to six years for providing alibis for
their killers Kaniel Martin and Avie How-
ell. Martin is serving a life sentence.
Howell, 24, was shot dead by police in
Antigua in June after escaping from
prison, where he was also serving a life
sentence for the murders and a four-year
term for burglary. Dr Mullany was training
to be a GP and Mr Mullany was a student
physiotherapist. The couple, both 31, were
from Pontardawe in the Swansea Valley.
Martin and Howell, who were 20 and 17
at the time of the killings, shot the Mul-
lanys in the head in their hotel bedroom
on the last day of their honeymoon.
They were also convicted of murdering
a Jamaican shopkeeper, Woneta Ander-
son, 43. At Aaron's hearing, prosecutor
Adlai Smith said her statements had been
"calculated to derail an investigation into
two men subsequently found to have
killed five people over the course of eight
weeks.
"It was a dark period in the history of
Antigua and Barbuda." He added it was
quite likely the pair would have continued
killing if they had not been arrested. (AP)
SENEGAL---Thousands of people in Sierra Leone are
being forced to violate Ebola quarantines to find food
because deliveries are not reaching them, aid agencies
said.
Large swaths of the West African country have been
sealed off to prevent the spread of Ebola, and within
those areas many people have been ordered to stay in
their homes.
The government, with help from the UN's World Food
Program, is tasked with delivering food and other serv-
ices to those people. But there are many "nooks and
crannies" in the country that are being missed, Jeanne
Kamara, Christian Aid's Sierra Leone representative,
said yesterday.
The country said it would keep a state of emergency,
which includes restrictions on large gatherings, in place
for a full year.
Restrictions on movement and gatherings have also
been used in Liberia and Guinea, the two other coun-
tries hardest hit by the epidemic.
Because services are not reaching them, people who
are being monitored for signs of Ebola---and should be
staying at home---are venturing out to markets to look
for food, potentially contaminating many others, said
Kamara. (AP)
LEBANON---Millions of Shiite Muslims from Lebanon
to India commemorated yesterday the slaying of a
revered figure, Imam Hussein, by weeping in mosques,
hosting plays, recreating a bloody battle, and for a mi-
nority, also flagellating themselves.
Ashoura is the most impassioned day of the year for
Shiites, as they recall how the grandson of the Prophet
Muhammad was slaughtered in a seventh century bat-
tle alongside his extended family in Karbala, in present
day Iraq.
In Pakistan, men whipped themselves with knives at-
tached to chains. In India, men cut themselves with
large knives as women beat their own chests. In the
Iranian capital Tehran, men chanted anti-American slo-
gans.
Thousands of men and women of Lebanon's sizeable
Shiite community thronged to the southern town of
Nabatiyeh for commemorations while many more gath-
ered in the Shiite Hezbollah group's strongholds in
southern Beirut.
Some men and boys cut their heads with razors,
alongside some women. They clutched large curved
swords, whacking the blade on their cut heads to keep
the blood flowing. (AP)
MEXICO CITY---Federal police
early yesterday detained the fugi-
tive former mayor of the southern
Mexican city of Iguala and his
wife, who are accused of ordering
the September 26 attacks on
teachers college students that left
six dead and 43 still missing.
Jose Luis Abarca and his wife,
Maria de los Angeles Pineda, were
arrested in Mexico City, the Federal
Police announced in a Twitter post.
The couple was in the custody
of the Attorney General s Office,
where they were giving statements.
At least 56 other people have been
arrested so far in the case, and the
Iguala police chief is still a fugi-
tive.
Mexican officials had issued an
arrest warrant for Abarca and Pine-
da after Iguala police officers said
they had received an order from
the mayor to intercept the stu-
dents.
The officers said they had been
told to stop the students from
interrupting a speech given by
Pineda in Iguala on that day.
The couple s detention could
shed light on disappearances, which
have prompted outraged demon-
strations across the country to
demand the students be found.
"The capture of Abarca could
give us more substantial leads," said
Guerrero Gov Rogelio Ortega, who
took office last week after his pred-
ecessor, Angel Aguirre, resigned in
the midst of the scandal.
"A more precise search that
could lead us to finding the 43
students alive," he told the Televisa
television network.
The students from a rural teach-
ers college had gone to Iguala to
canvass for donations and author-
ities say Abarca ordered the attack
on them, believing the students
were aiming to disrupt a speech
by Pineda. They say the assault
was carried out by police working
with the Guerreros Unidos drug
cartel. Authorities say Pineda was
a main operative in the cartel.
They also have said the drug
gang essentially ran the town of
Iguala, with Abarca receiving pay-
ments of 2 million to 3 million
pesos ($150,000-$220,000) every
few weeks, as a bribe and to pay
off his corrupt police force.
The search for the students has
taken authorities to the hills above
Iguala, to a gully near a trash dump
in the neighbouring city of Cocula,
but still no remains have been
identified. (AP)
South
Sudan
famine
temporarily
averted
NAIROBI
Aid and some small har-
vests have helped stave
off a feared famine in
South Sudan, but any
more fighting there could
still leave millions facing
severe hunger next year, a
senior World Food Pro-
gram (WFP) official said.
The United Nations had
warned in May that up to
four million people would
be on the brink of starva-
tion by the end of 2014,
after months of clashes
threatened harvests and
shut down aid programs.
Development agencies
launched a huge appeal
and the response, together
with rainfall, meant that
"what was speculated
about famine ... (has been)
temporarily averted,"
WFP's South Sudan
deputy country director,
Eddie Rowe, told Reuters.
About 10,000 people
have died and more than a
million have been dis-
placed since fighting broke
out between President
Salva Kiir's government
forces and rebels allied to
his former deputy Riek
Machar in December last
year.
Rowe said recent har-
vests in the three states
worst-hit by the violence---
Jonglei, Unity and Upper
Nile---had been limited,
meaning home-grown
food could soon start run-
ning low.
"The amount of food
that will be available at
household level would be
exhausted by December or
January and that means
you will have a substantial
number of people who
would go without food as
of January up to March
based on the projections
and indicators that we are
collecting," he from South
Sudan's capital by phone.
Any more violence
would hamper efforts to
get help to those areas, he
added. (Reuters)
